I remember the SJT test as I did it last November with SWR. As mentioned previously, there’s no hard and fast tips for it. Put yourself in the shoes of a driver and deal with them accordingly. Sorry!

I don’t believe there is a second assessment. I passed mine back in November and I’ve got my assessment day booked in now.

Thanks for the clarification dctraindriver

I’m currently working 4 on 4 off now but that’s based on a 12 hour working day.

Evening all, As the title suggests, I’m looking for information on Train Driver shift patterns for SWR. Any help appreciated! Cheers

Hi mate. I gather 11 lines in 1 minute is at A5 size....not A4?

Thanks for your answers everyone. Very useful! :)

Thanks Bigfoot. I assume there is a probationary period after that training before you hit £51k?

What sort of time frames between these increments are we looking at?

Thanks for the comprehensive reply RJM. I must of misread on here somewhere that top scale was £61k.

Gent, thanks mate.

Thanks Pickletree. Any idea which one they use?

Interesting to hear that thanks. Do you know if SWR utilise a Group Bourdon test consisting of dots or letters?

Thanks mate. No I’m based in the South West, no London allowance for me. I’ve tried to DM you but it’s not allowing?

Lewis, once again thanks for the information. It’s always good to get some inside gen. Good luck with your career.....I’ve got an assessment day in the next few weeks. Bit premature to be thinking about pay scales and training timelines. Always good to have an idea I guess. I want to know...

Thanks for the reply Lewis. I really appreciate it! What sort of time scales do SWR work towards for rules, route learning etc? I gather you’re currently midway through training - congrats!

Good afternoon, I was hoping someone could enlighten me on the pay scale associated with a Trainee Train Driver for SWR? Thanks in advance!

Was that brief given by SWR or another TOC?

Thanks for your reply. Guess it’s best to contact the TOC direct then and get the official stand point.
